The prima ballerina was quite happy to see me when I returned home from the office yesterday. In fact, she slept draped over my face for a good part of last night. Apparently comfy for her, not so much for me. But perhaps breathing Ragdoll-fur filtered air is good for you. 😉

It’s not so good for the sleeping, though. Very little sleep was had by moi last night. But I can’t blame Lucy for all my insomnia. Sheri did a shop update at The Loopy Ewe last night and after the rush of scoring some good yarn, I was so hopped up I couldn’t sleep.

My knitting mojo returned last night and I was able to complete an acceptable chunk o’ scarf knitting. This bad boy will be done in another day or two. I’ve got other stuff to do tonight, but there’s always tomorrow!

Love the Dance, kittys are so fun to watch as they do interpretive dances 🙂 Sheri put up lots of gorgeous yarns and rovings last nite, I just wish I had the money to get as much of it as Sheri can mail in one day!!!!! Enjoy all the glorious yarns and Kitty dances everytime you get a chance!

What a hoot! After watching a minute I started to think she looked like a fuzzy caterpillar 🙂 Lucy is definitely a ham, isn’t she?

I scored last night too. It was hard making choices (with my post-holiday budget) but I even got a Loopy mug (sight unseen since the server was getting hit so hard for awhile that images weren’t coming up – I just didn’t want to miss out).

My cat, Tiger, caught a glimpse of Lucy’s dance and….this is so cute…. nosed the computer screen! Then, he, quite inappropriately, pawed at Lucy! (I hope she wasn’t offended. I did let him know that a lady would prefer to be asked before one tries to, uh, hold her paw or stroke her fur.)

Lucy, you’re so entertaining & of course beautiful. If your Mom figures out how to sleep comfortably with you on her face, have her let me know. I can sleep quite comfortably with my 2 dogs beside me, but when a feline sleeps on my pillow, it throws me for a loop.

I guess several were trying to post at the same time because I was just told to slow down and my comment dropped! Calli just loved Lucy’s vidio. She hopped up here and studied her on the screen. Mind you Calli is on Valuim so she often has weird attacts. Oh I got some goodies on the Sneak Up too!!!

I just want to let you know how much I enjoyed Lucy’s video. I have to admit I cried. I lost a Himmy that reminds me of Lucy on June 4th and I miss him so much! I love your site and seeing that precious baby!! Keep up the videos and pictures!!

I liked the tiny breaks she took to make sure that she was just perfect. Holy cow, does she have a lot of coat! It doesn’t come across so much in her still photos, but I guess she was a little bit ruffled up from the workout. I was getting worried that her back was going to get all matted up! 🙂

I am looking for advice. I knit my husband a hat with 100% wool. Unfortunately, the band is too big, but the rest of the hat fits perfectly. How can I shrink just that part without ruining the hat? I would love to hear from a more experienced knitter like yourself!

I was Sneaking Up there with you and think I just set a personal best for amount purchased at TLE. So much for not planning to buy any more yarn for a while. (I didn’t make any formal promises or resolutions or Knit From Your Stash public blog declarations; but — still!) Some wonderful stuff is already, per Sheri and the elves, on its way to me. Whee! But I should not have stayed up so late.
Please tell Mlle Lucy that she has lovely port de bras (carriage of the arms) and line. Not to mention a built-in tutu.
(Real tutus have fuzzy butts, too, did you know that? After discovering this, having to wear one last spring, I felt impelled to share the butt ruffles with the world: http://hitherandyarn.wordpress.com/2007/05/18/tu-tu-much-tu-tu-little-tu-tu-late/
But you know what, Lucy? Real tutu butt ruffles are itchy and scratchy, not fluffy and soft like your bloomers! I like yours better!) Keep on dancing, Lucy! But maybe reconsider sleeping on Momma’s face. Fur up the nose is tickly.

What an artiste! Wonderful interpretation! What a wonderful, precious kitty! Buster does the rug dance when he’s been especially bad and is warding off the flyswatter – the kitty equalizer- I have to laugh at him! He knows when to be “cute” after he’s been “bad”

Yarn Nerd woke me up this morning with a shop update too. I think it happened yesterday but I was still excited that I was able to get some of his sportweight merino. Yay! However, the actual act of waking up was not as pleasant. Calvin decided my cheekbone was rather tasty looking and chomped on me.

Beautiful Lucy! Cats and knitting go together like… well, like wine and cheese or like Lucy and Ethel! Wendy I just bought your book and I have a burning question for you. How on earth do you knit and read???!!! I love to knit and Ilove to read, but for the life of me I am unable to do both at once. I have read in other books and blogs that other knitters are able to do this as well… I need guidance!!! Please enlighten me!!!!! P.S., love the books ; )

The knitting gods have smacked me down– remember my comment yesterday about how my knitting is “humming along?” well, you can guess how last nights knitting went. I’m STILL trying to figure out where my boo boo is, and of course this is very fuzzy alpaca, so picking back is challenging to say the least. I hope to be back on track by lunchtime today. Kudos’ to the dancing queen, and I’m glad to hear your knitting mojo is back on track!

Is that like the happy dance she does when you get home? It’s funny. And I thought about fuzzy caterpillars too (I hope Lucy isn’t offended). Back when I was a cat person, I didn’t have a problem with them on the bed, but the purring freaked DH out. Now that DH has turned me into a dog person, I have to fight them for space on the bed since they are as big as me.

Oh, Lucy, what a talented girl you are! Tee hee hee. I’ll have to show this to my dh tonight. We have a Ragdoll named Annika, also from an animal shelter. She does this same movement, but not for nearly as long. Clearly Lucy has been classicaly trained and has kept herself in top form.

I would say that the video of Lucy is so wonderful and amazing that it gives the first real competition for the hilarious piano-playing cat on YouTube! And that’s saying a lot! Lucy is wonderful and inspiring! And you as well, Wendy. Thank you.
